附帶證書

Introduced in the 1970s, reference 16800 showcased a groundbreaking feature—an unprecedented quick date change function accessible through the crown, a remarkable advancement at that time.

The reference 16800 underwent notable upgrades, including a redesigned bezel and the introduction of a sapphire crystal, replacing the previous material. These enhancements resulted in a significant improvement in the watch's water resistance, elevating its depth rating from the original 200 meters to an impressive 300 meters. These technical enhancements exemplify Rolex's relentless pursuit of excellence, delivering timepieces that combine efficiency, functionality, and durability.
